Polycarbonate

Polycarbonates (PC) are a group of thermoplastic polymers containing carbonate groups in their chemical structures. Polycarbonates used in engineering are strong, tough materials, and some grades are optically transparent. They are easily worked, molded, and thermoformed. Because of these properties, polycarbonates find many applications. Polycarbonates do not have a unique resin identification code (RIC) and are identified as "Other", 7 on the RIC list. Products made from polycarbonate can contain the precursor monomer bisphenol A (BPA).

PC performance properties include:

• Very impact resistant and is virtually unbreakable and remains tough at low temperatures, 

• “Clear as glass” clarity

• High heat resistance

• Dimensional stability

• Resistant to ultraviolet light, allowing exterior use

• Flame retardant

This film offers high heat resistance and superior dimensional stability and finds uses in packaging of medical devices.
